Sri Lanka seek foreign coach
Colombo - The Sri Lankan cricket board is looking to hire another foreigner to replace outgoing national cricket coach Tom Moody.
Sri Lanka Cricket secretary Kangadaran Mathivanan on Friday said the post will be advertised on Saturday and the board expects to have a list of candidates by next week.
Moody, a former Australian Test player credited with guiding Sri Lanka to the World Cup final in the West Indies last month, will take over as coach of Western Australia - his home state - after the current three-match limited-over series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates. Sri Lanka lost the World Cup final to defending champions Australia, which won the title for an unprecedented third time in a row.
